Answer 3

In the 16th centuries, corruption permeated the Roman Catholic church. Many felt changes were needed. In 1517, Martin Luther publicly called for reform, and the Protestant Reformation was under way.
Some felt that the Reformation was progressing too slowly.
It was among these reformers that the Anabaptist movement formed its roots.
The basic tenets of the Anabaptist faith were defined in the Schleitheim Confession in 1527.
They refused to bear arms, kept separate from the world, and excommunicated wrongdoers.
But what characterized their faith more than anything else, clearly distinguishing Anabaptists from other religions, was the conviction that baptism was for adults and not for children.

One of the foremost reformist preachers was Bernhard Rothmann. He gained popular support in a city called Münster
The city was declared to be the New Jerusalem mentioned in the Bible, and the mood became apocalyptic.
Other communities looked on aghast as Münster became the first city in which Anabaptists were the strongest religious and political force.

A local dignitary, Prince-Bishop Count Franz von Waldeck, gathered an army to lay siege to Münster.
The siege lasted for 14 months, until June 1535 when the city finally fell. Münster suffered destruction.
Anabaptists were captured, tortured, and executed.
Persecution continued for several years throughout Europe.

The Anabaptists were basically religious people who tried to stick to Bible principles.

Answer 4

I would say the Amish qualify as ana baptist. Most nondomination Churches and most Baptist Churches also fall into that definition. All it really mean is re-baptizers... Those groups that see infant baptism as of no real value.. It is not a domination.... Jim

Answer 5

ana baptist = re-baptizer. They were given the title because they rejected infant baptism. They belived that someone must be at the age of accountability to understand sin, and their need for the Saviour. Thus, baptizing babies is completely meaningless since they don't have the ability to understand. Many main denominations which are now called Lutherans, Methodists, and Presbytarians heavily persecuted these groups forcing them to hide in caves. The reason: they were preaching the gospel, people were getting saved, then baptized (re-baptized).

Answer 6

It is the belief from which a few groups in the US sprang. Mennonites, Amish, Brethren to name a few.

I was a member of a Brethren Church for a few years. Very fine people.
